Landscape

A chronological observation of paintings from Konjović's rich oeuvre shows that the primary motif - the landscape of Vojvodina - played out in the summer of 1944. Is it the summer heat that heated the air and broke the landscape, or the feeling that by rejecting a moderately expressive expression, the war years are also rejected and freedom is expected with the image in the "new suit"? - mostly since then, in the painter's oeuvre, there are farms, field roads, forests, wheat fields, which do not look at all like the established image of a monotonous plain. This landscape is a standard example of Konjović's artistic expression - the dominant black lines swirl, the painted surfaces vibrate, and in order not to be all elusive to the eye, there is, as in many of his paintings, an accent - a white house. Small, maybe dilapidated, but its pure white color states that it is the house of an honest and hard-working host.
